No good reason at all. You can run an open wheel ariel atom but cant get an r34 styline or focus rs or any alpha romeo except the c8....no good reason at all.

Awsome car according to the RS the top gear reviews.

Too many rules and regulations excuse would have flown if the evo sti or gtr weren't availble in the US. With all the remakes you can just see where American car manufacturers focus is.

Ever wonder why they dont make front wheel drive sports cars? http://www.epinions.com/auto-review-...394D2268-prod5
But hey if you like it, you should import one.
